Chapter 603: Raid(1/2)

On a very cold day, Yang Er only wore a single suit. Fortunately, he was wrapped in a straw raincoat and tied tightly with hemp rope, which could barely keep out the wind and rain.

With his trouser legs rolled up above his knees, he stood in knee-deep water, raised the net in his hand, and suddenly threw it out. The net was perfectly thrown into a large circle in the air, and then fell into the river with a loud sound.

After waiting for a while, Yang Er began to close the net alternately with his hands.

Halfway out of the water, he saw fish flapping in the net, and he couldn't help but smile.

The net was dragged forward, and sure enough, the net yielded a bountiful harvest. In addition to small fish, there was actually a large silver carp weighing more than ten kilograms.

We can't let it run away.

Yang Er dragged the net directly to the shore. His red feet were covered with chilblains. He opened the wounds like a child's mouth, but he didn't seem to feel any pain, or he might have been numb from being frozen in the cold water.

Ignoring the small fish for now, I only held down the big silver carp and threaded a rope through its gills, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The fish struggled fiercely. With Yang Er's current physical strength, he was really tired. After finishing all this while panting heavily, he was actually sweating all over his body.

Looking at the big fish that finally lost its strength and just lay on the beach, opening and closing its gills and occasionally flapping its tail, Yang Er wiped the sweat from his face and smiled.

If you take this fish back, you can exchange it with the Shangguan in the town for a few kilograms of grain!

The Shangguan who is currently stationed in the town has this delicious taste. A few days ago, his neighbor also got a silver carp, which was not as big as his own, so he exchanged it for five kilograms of good wheat.

Yang Er was very happy thinking about his wife and children who were a little bloated from hunger at home.

I caught a small fish, disembowelled it, washed it clean in the river water, twisted the head of the fish, and then fed the raw fish meat into my mouth and took a bite. It was fishy but also very fresh.

After eating a fish raw, he felt that his physical strength had recovered a little. Yang Er wanted to take advantage of the situation and get a few more nets. If he was lucky, he could catch another big fish!

You know, this river used to belong to Zhou Daguan people in Yingpan Town, but now that Zhou Daguan people have fled to Shangqiu, everyone dares to come fishing.

Otherwise, those evil slaves in Zhou Daguan’s house would really unleash evil dogs to bite people!

In fact, many people in Yingpan Town fled, some fled to Shangqiu, and some fled to Bozhou across the street.

Yang Er hesitated for a long time whether to escape, but when he made up his mind, he could no longer escape.

Because there were so many people fleeing, troops were sent to garrison them. All the people who fled to the other side were captured, the men were made to do hard labor, and the women were taken away from the women's households, and some were even directly raped.

Cut off the head.

Yang Er was frightened by this and never dared to think about it again.

Even if life is very miserable now and one meal is too late, but one is still alive, right?

Looking up at the sky, it was bright and clear. Yang Er felt that he could still hit a few more nets, so he rushed back without delay to continue digging trenches and building walls for the government.

All the men in Yingpan Town are doing this, and they rely on this to earn a little bit of food to feed their families.

There are five hundred soldiers in the town, and all of them are fierce.

He picked up the fishing net and was about to go into the water again. After taking a few steps, Yang Er stopped.

He heard the sound of horse hooves.

Looking up, he saw rows of cavalry suddenly appearing in the distance.

Seeing the flag waving at the beginning, Yang Er was stunned.

Although he was illiterate, he could still tell that this was the flag from the opposite side, which was different from the flag flying over Yingpan Town every day!

It's the person opposite!

He froze, and it took him a while to realize what he was doing. He dropped the fishing net, ran back a few steps, and hugged the big silver carp tightly in his arms. This could be exchanged for several kilograms of grain from the Shangguan in the town!

The cavalry passed by not far from him like the wind. Yang Er felt that the guys on the horses looked at him several times, but no one paid him any attention. It was as if he didn't exist.

Blinking his eyes, Yang Er was a little at a loss.

Then, he saw more people appearing in the distance.

He watched helplessly as those people lined up in neat lines and followed the pace of the cavalry.

Those people all had a white feather stuck on their helmets.

"Fellow, where are you from? Hurry up and hide because of your family. There's going to be a war!" A soldier who didn't look very old came over and waved at him. It could be heard that he was not a local. Although he imitated the local dialect, it was very stiff and could be heard immediately.

Yang Er nodded blankly.

"What a big fish!" the young soldier praised. Just when Yang Er subconsciously hugged the fish tighter, the soldier turned around and trotted forward after the army.

It wasn't until the mighty team disappeared in front of Yang Er's eyes that he sat down on the ground without saying a word.

Everyone was numb with fear.

"There's going to be a war, there's going to be a war!" he murmured.

Suddenly he jumped up.

"There's going to be a war!" His voice changed slightly and became extremely sharp.

The army from the opposite side came over, and the place they went to was Yingpan Town.

My home is in Yingpan Town.

My wife and children are still in Yingpan Town.

Yang Er yelled and ran towards home.

After running for a few steps, I fell down to the ground, got up and ran again.

After running for a while, I no longer had the strength to run, so I could only move forward step by step.

When it was daylight, he saw his home and Yingpan Town.

There were no corpses strewn about the ground as imagined, nor fireworks rising into the sky.

By the way, the flag on the tall flagpole erected at the head of the town is different from yesterday.

Then, he saw many people under the flagpole!

Outside, there were those guys with white feathers on their helmets, the same ones he met on the road. They ran so fast that Yang Er chased them all the way, but he didn't even see their shadows.

And among them, Yang Er saw the biggest official in Yingpan Town.

The official who usually wore a suit of iron armor and rode around the town on horseback was so majestic that Yang Er envied him, but now he was nodding and bowing with his bare hands in front of a man with a white feather in his head, with a flattering look on his face.

Yang Er blinked his eyes, lowered his head, and found that he was still holding the ten-pound big silver carp tightly in his hand.

Along the way, he actually didn't abandon this big guy.

But even if the fish come back, can they still get food in exchange?

Yang Er walked over step by step.

"Fellow, you live here? You run pretty fast!" The young soldier who had greeted him earlier saw Yang Er again.

Yang Er holding such a big silver carp is so eye-catching.

Seeing Brother Bing walking towards him, Yang Er felt that this time, the big silver carp would definitely not be saved.

What Yang Er didn't expect was that he finally got the food.

But it's not replaced, it's issued.

The new soldiers locked up all the soldiers originally stationed in the town, then opened the grain depot and distributed food to everyone in the town.

Yang Er's family of four shared a total of eighty kilograms of food.

Yang Er gave the big silver carp to those who distributed the food to him.

Those soldiers were very kind and even thanked him!

This made Yang Er very fond of them.

Those soldiers used to be cruel to them! If they didn't work for them every day, they wouldn't be given food. If they didn't do what they wanted, they would be whipped.

On a cold and windy November 8th, without any warning, the White Feather Army of the New Song Dynasty stationed in Bozhou launched a surprise attack on the Zhao Army.

In one day, we went to Yingpan Town, Huiting Town, and Jiyang Town.

In each of these three towns, a whole battalion of Zhao soldiers were stationed. However, except for the fierce battle in Jiyang town, the Zhao army of 1,000 people in the two towns of Yingpan and Huiting did not make any move.

Resisted and surrendered.

The generals of the Zhao army in these two places who were forcibly escorted by the Song army to accompany the army secretly rejoiced after witnessing the scene where Jiyang Town was completely wiped out by the Bai Yu army in less than an hour.

Fortunately, he had the foresight not to resist, otherwise the fate of Zhao Jun in Jiyang Town would have fallen on him.

That rain of arrows that filled the sky, that unreasonable giant mallet, those extremely ferocious sword and shield soldiers,

Of course, there are enemies several times greater than ourselves.

As for whether surrender was a shame, the two camp generals didn't think so at all.

I am an officer of the Song Dynasty, and I am just bound by those traitors. Now that the Japanese army has arrived and regained my homeland, of course I must immediately fight to welcome the Japanese army and regain the country.

I only have merit, how can I have any faults?

As for the things that happened to the common people in the past?

Hehe, who knows? Who dares to say?

And even if it is said, how can the Heavenly Army care about such trivial matters?
